Peach Bourbon Pie with Bacon Brown Sugar Crumble...ummm seriously?!

I like the styling of the cast iron pan directly on cooking sheet....always trying to think of what to shoot cast iron on, maybe this will work for a recipe that gets cooked in the oven right in the skillet....?

QUICK SWEET PICKLES 6 kirby cucumbers or 2 regular cucumbers 1/4 cup kosher salt 1 cup water 1 cup 1 tablespoon mustard seed 1 cinnamon stick 3 cloves 1 bay leaf 1 small red onion, sliced thinly Directions Wash and dry the cucumbers. Using a sharp knife or a mandolin, slice the cucumbers thinly and place in a colander. Sprinkle with the salt and toss to coat. Place the colander over a bowl and allow it to sit, covered, for about 1 hour. Rinse off the salt and dry the cucumber slices well. Place them into a sterilized quart jar, along with the onion. In a small saucepan add the remaining ingredients. Stir to dissolve sugar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow it to cool. Pour the brine over the cucumbers in jar. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Will keep, refrigerated, for about 2 weeks. Sterilizing Jars Properly handled sterilized equipment will keep canned foods in good condition for years. Sterilizing jars is the first step of preserving foods. Sterilizing Tips: Jars should be made from glass and free of any chips or cracks. Preserving or canning jars are topped with a glass, plastic or metal lid, which has a rubber seal. Two piece lids are best for canning, as they vacuum seal when processed. Before filling with jams, pickles or preserves, wash jars and lids with hot, soapy water. Rinse well and arrange jars and lids open sides up, without touching, on a tray. Leave in a preheated 175 degree F oven for 25 minutes. Or boil the jars and lids in a large saucepan, covered with water, for 15 minutes. Use tongs when handling hot sterilized jars, to move them from either boiling water or the oven. Be sure tongs are sterilized too, by dipping the ends in boiling water for a few minutes. As a rule, hot preserves go into hot jars and cold preserves go into cold jars. All items used in the process of making jams, jellies and preserves must be clean. This includes any towels used, and especially your hands. After the jars are sterilized, you can preserve the food. It is important to follow any canning and processing instructions included in the recipe and refer to USDA guidelines about the sterilization of canned products. hannah queen | honey & jam at 5:17 PM Share

Deviled eggs by Todd Coleman. I've always found the egg canape like this bizarre, perhaps because I don't eat eggs very often, especially as it's such an old school dish. Love this image though, whoever thought a deviled egg could look so cool?
